Update your pastor on MSM nonsense that get aired.

I assume he just read the article and bought it hook, line and sinker.

Explain what is the anti-cult law? Why have such a law? Can a person share the Gospel of Christ on the street without a permit like here in America?

This is primarily against NGO's who constantly try to undermine VVP and the Orthodox Church. Religious toleration here is vast and normal, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, whatever, all get along well and live side by side. The evangelicals seem to have a penchant for trying to undermine The State and after years of warnings and evangelicals actively supporting Ukraine events publicly it was decided enough was enough. If you have an official Church, no problem, let those who may be interested come to your Church. If you want to worship in your home with friends and acquaintances, no one cares and no one will kick in your door. Just don't stand at the gates of the local Orthodox Church or Mosque and try to dragoon worshipers to come to your Church. That is considered to be bad form.

As an aside, the Baptist Church in this berg is still operating and no one has mentioned shutting it down.

Thanks for the report.  We need this sort of information offset the hate propaganda generated by the NATO mass media.  

You are most welcome. I'm just telling the truth.

If this move is response to anti-Russia sanctions, perhaps an import-substitution is underway?

Yeah, wtf. How come Libel isn't a crime in Russia? That is bullshit. Law needs to be changed.

I imagine there will be enough outcry that they will unban it.

I don't see why it can't be contested and it will probably be so.

Edit: just occured to me that it was a st.petersburg court who ruled this. In other words, doesn't really have much authority and can be over ruled very easy since it wasn't a Duma ban.

This is a st.pete court. So I'm assuming if there is any counter action against the court, it can be easily over ruled .  It is a much simpler but more stupid case than anything.  Regional and specific and the court made the decision cause I bet there was no defendant.

This ruling won't last.  And doesn't seem to apply to anywhere else in Russia or at least other online distributers.

If I was the judge I would just state that:
" Death note sucks. Any kid watching it is a virgin loser. Instead the kids should watch something awesome like Macross to be total Chad's".

President Vladimir Putin maintains that Russia does not prohibit the activities of civil society and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as long as these abide by the country's laws, refrain from meddling in internal politics and inciting extremism and civil disobedience in the country.

He told Russia's state-owned TASS News Agency in an interview for the project titled "20 Questions with Vladimir Putin" that any non-governmental organizations operating on Russian territory, including religious ones, must necessarily respect and comply with the Russian law.

The purpose of the law on non-governmental organizations including media and religious groups is simply to protect Russia from external meddling in its politics. Significantly, such organizations were often not very eager to declare that they were involved in domestic affairs and were doing so using money from foreign sources.

"While some countries prohibit the activity of such organizations, we don't ban it. They are free to keep working. By the way, this practice is a well-established one. They continue to work, but they are required to report if they receive funding from abroad and are engaged in internal political activity. Nobody's rights are infringed on here whatsoever. There is nothing that runs counter to international practice," Putin stressed in the interview.

"We need to have a very clear idea of what internal political activity is. We need to ensure that there are no misconceptions. And we need to ensure that no other activity – involving humanitarian matters, for instance, public health or environmental protection – is used as a disguise to engage in domestic political affairs," he added.

Putin recalled that legislation on foreign agents was first created in the United States back in the late 1930s and has been actively used ever since. It stipulates different penalties, even incarceration. In the meantime, in Russia only administrative penalties for this type of violation are in effect.

The law stipulates that the status of foreign mass media outlets acting as foreign agents can be assigned to individuals if they spread [disseminate] content [including that in the internet] meant for an unlimited range of persons and receive financing from outside the country. This concerns cash transfers and other assets obtained from foreign countries, their official agencies, international and foreign organizations and foreign individuals or Russian legal entities that receive cash from the aforesaid sources.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, NGOs in Russia and in Eastern European bloc began to function actively with the enormous grants they received from the United States and other European countries. Funding came from organizations such as Rockefeller Foundation, Carnegie, Ford and many others. However, foreign funded NGOs and their activism created much resentment in Putin's administration.

Fucking Based. Heil Putler!

So from previous articles on this site, there are 8-9,000,000 legal migrants and now just over 1,000,000 illegal ones.

I'm all for it. **** the illegal migrants.

But out of curiosity, what about the 4M refugees from Ukraine? Judging from official numbers of Russia's population, these people aren't citizens. So what of them?

I assume they will still be classified as Refugees. But wondering on their status and if they too may face the boot?

Less then a million are refugee's and they live and work generally with family connections. Around another million have been granted citizenship while 2,000,000 are there as legal migrant workers minus the 150,000 the Russian government says are not legal. This is my understanding from various sources over the last 5 years or so. And of course some would have returned to their homes.

They can be turned into legal citizens quite easily. Their homelands could make a referendum and ask Russia if they can be part of it again.
